Smart TVs have been relatively static in terms of big new features for a while. Screen quality keeps getting better, software keeps learning new tricks, but it’s pretty uncommon to get a new hardware feature. That’s why I was pretty excited to check out TCL’s QM9K series and, after a few months using this flagship-tier Google TV set, its unique presence-sensing tech that turns on the TV whenever I walk in the room is still a mix of really cool, and perhaps a little pointless.

The smartphone market is likely to undergo more change as memory prices show no let-up, and recent data suggests devices like the Google Pixel series are positioned to get the most sales benefit out of another tough year.

After years of back and forth, Samsung Messages is officially shutting down for good in July and, while most were already on Google Messages, the switch is frustrating to some. Why were you still using Samsung’s app?

Pebblebee’s newest Android Find Hub tracker does a lot more than find your wallet, with the Halo able to double as a surprisingly bright flashlight, but more importantly, a safety alarm.

Motorola is launching its first new Android tablet in years (in the US) with the Moto Pad set to go on sale later this month, but pricing is a mystery for now.

The Moto G Stylus is getting a big update for 2026, with a new pen that behaves more like a Galaxy Note’s S Pen than ever before.

The Pixel 10a launched about a month ago in most of the world, but has been absent in Japan despite prior success for the Pixel in that region.

Google is rolling out some updates in the Play Store, with reviews now featuring a handy option to search, but losing the useful “device model” filter.
